There's a lot of self-hate goin' on
when he can't deal with his sister.

:58:04
How would you know?
You won't deal with a black man.

:58:07
I do date black men; but I also
date Chinese, Latino, Jewish...
the full spectrum.

:58:11
That's not a consolation
for this particular argument...

:58:14
- that we're having.
- It's not supposed to be.

:58:16
You think I should date black
men, but I'm gonna date who I like.

:58:19
Give me a man,
regardless of color,

:58:21
who is nice to me, sweet to me,
and who I believe loves me.

:58:26
Inez, I'm not the rainbow-fucking kind.
:58:31
You are the leading rainbow girl.
:58:33
We know this about you.
:58:36
If it will make you happy, I'll
make a pilgrimage to Africa...

:58:39
the motherland, and find
myself a true tribesman.

:58:41
- A true Asiatic black man.
- With a dick down to his knees,

:58:45
to keep me happy
for days.

:58:47
- Oooh! Zulu dick!
- That's right, girl.

:58:49
- I'm gonna get serious
Zulu dick in the bush.
- What a nasty!

:58:53
Do any of you know
what it is like...

:58:55
not being thought of
as attractive?

:58:57
- I can't believe you believe that!
- It's the kind of shit you buy into.

:59:01
I was always the darkest one
in my class.

:59:04
I know you know
what I'm talking about.

:59:06
All the guys ran after the light-skinned
girls with long, straight hair.

:59:09
That left me out. It's that
same kind of thinkin'...

:59:12
that leaves us out when
it comes to white women.

:59:14
Back in the day, brothers would get
sisters that looked like you.

:59:18
But now, light skin
ain't even good enough.

:59:22
Today, brothers are
going for the gusto...

:59:24
I mean the real McCoy.
That's why Flipper's gone.

:59:27
- White girls got it made.
- The whole thing...

:59:29
Everything in society... we keep doin'
the same thing over and over;

:59:34
we keep telling ourselves,
negatin' ourselves.

:59:37
Look at the brothers
who are successful.

:59:39
Look at them! Most of
the brothers who have made it...

:59:42
- got white women on their arms.
- That's true.

:59:44
In order to go up that ladder
to success, seems like...

:59:47
- you got to have
"Miss Thing" on your arm.
- Mm-hmm!

:59:49
Their responsibility level
isn't the same as ours.

:59:52
It's not even a question
of responsibility.

:59:55
- It's a fundamental
disrespect for women.
- Yes, it is.

:59:57
I don't care, the best man...
it's hard for him to say no,
